The launcher can't be installed anymore

[Akieos]

After the 1.1.0 update my antivirus got a false positive with the installer and the launcher doesn't install nor open even with everything turned off security wise.

It works normally for me, I just downloaded it an hour ago

If you cant open setup.exe you need restore the file from quarantine or allow on your av (like win defender)

If you can install but launcher close after open you can try to add --no-sandbox flag to Hydra shortcut

@hydralauncher commenting here because i don't think this deserves an open issue, this might be related with false positives. how feasible is to scrap the python dependency and use a node.js torrent client (eg: https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent), making this an exclusively electron application? i have some personal projects setup with electron and webtorrent and none is detected as as viruses.

Very unlikely. WebTorrent is bloated with issues and things that you have to workaround in order to get it working, and does still get flagged (Hydra was written using it before). Plus, libtorrent has such a great performance + plenty of features that we can use. Being a separated process is not the reason with the executable gets flagged, but rather having a bittorrent client instead does.

Solved by the migration to electron-builder.
